yea man imo theyll be just fine. my plant has missed some light/recieved too much light due to my timer being a pos and shes doing beautifully so id say your idea is legit.
yea man i would say transplant it for sure. i had my plant in a pot that was too small for it and it didnt grow at all for a about a week because of this. once i transplanted it though it was all good.
